Coronation of Vlad and Kalysa   2 comments

Friday night, Livia, Girard, Guenievre, and I vanned up to Stierbach for the Coronation of their new Majesties Atlantia, Vlad and Kalysa (So when you get asked who you fight for, remember this, for the next six months at least). King Vlad, being of a warlike countenance, asked that instead of the traditional tournaments that […]

Wistric’s Weekly Warfare 27: “Fight Like Free Scholars”   1 comment

Ed.’s note: After half a year’s worth of these, I’m starting to tap the bottom of my well.  Feedback from readers as to what might be worth discussing is quite welcome at this point.   It’s time for another Wistric Parable of Somethingorother.  Or possibly just pointless pontification.  It’s my blog, I’ll cry if I […]

WWW goes to Pennsic – the 5-Man Tourney   6 comments

Wednesday was the greatest day of the year for small unit melee.  Four years ago, the Atlantian 5-Man Tourney was the first thing I fought in after I authorized schlager, and it left a long and abiding impression on me.  This year, Windmasters Hill took a team to the lists made up of Sir Johann, […]

WWW goes to Pennsic: Rapier Field Battles   4 comments

Atlantia rallied for the field battle at 2pm on Monday.  I, still sporting a wave in my hair from my recent use as a model in a headdress class (lots of pictures available, if you know where to look), headed out to the field with Her Excellency to see… The Armored Forces of the Knowne […]
